"For years I’ve heard great things about the quality of art at the CAC. But I just wasn’t prepared for the impact it would have on me. Even the building itself is a masterpiece. It was unreal." --Margaret from Bexley, OH

The CAC is a museum that showcases "art of the last five minutes" in a building that has gained international acclaim for its extraordinary architecture. Nestled in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, the CAC has served as a beacon for progressive thought in the community for more than 65 years.
Founded in Cincinnati in 1939 as the Modern Art Society by three visionary local women, the center was one of the first institutions in the United States dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art.
The Contemporary Arts Center has a reputation for provoking thought and introducing new ideas. The CAC focuses on new developments in painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, performance art and new media.
